I don't know why, but for me it didn't work when I extracted the Zip, maybe you should add the info

"If you update from 170 to 188 and it doesn't work, try putting the Entire .Zip in dload folder, then update again"

it did work for me, I think it may be a problem with the original firmware when you buy the phone or not resetting before every update, or the brand of the phone, mine was vodafone.
[P8lite General] DarwinHQ:
i did it .it worked only when i pushed theupdate.zip B188 in dload folder and it changed in about phone and did the same with MM update.zip and worked too and now i got MM on my phone

thank you very much for your help
[P8lite General] lokopepe:
The files with zip extension are updates by OTA. Must push it in zip format in the dload folder.

The files UPDATE.APP are entire ROM and must push it in app format in the doload folder.

Excuse my bad english

yup i didn't know that :)

sir please help i follow all in your instruction but in number 5 when i transfer update to dlod then after my phone reboot and stuck to logo only meaning bootloop. then i try again the step one after reboot the program was normal but i dont have signal on my network then i check my imei it says null. please help me what im gonna do to my phone..sorry for my bad english
[P8lite General] dkonect:
Can you please explain, what model exactly and from what build you come
[P8lite General] DMScrw:
The balong bug remains after a painful weekend of reflashing. Yes, I did wipe. You said you flash the entire rom via adb, how would you do that? Huawei only lets you do system, cust, recovery and boot..

The full B052 zip file would maybe solve the problem, or the full update.zip file instead of the 2 kb update.app, but that is just speculation.
[P8lite General] 006fazer:
Hi,

I hade this bug.

I flashed with fastboot SYSTEM, BOOT and userdata from B052 image, then flashed the 2 kb update.app, which restore the correct phone model. And then reflash the full image B052 (update.app).

All is OK. Then i receive the OTA to B170 and apply the update.zip to B188 ;)

Bye
[P8lite General] dkonect:
On the b052 you just have to click on flash all. Bat

(files flash is boot, cust, recovery, system) no users data,

And yes the second steps fix the balong bug on the B052, it's not a speculation, understand what you read before making modifications you don't understand
[P8lite General] 006fazer:

hi there ihave ale l21 c432170 and update it now on c432188 and then to MM rightP?> on my phone can i do it like ur tutorial say?
[P8lite General] dkonect:
Yes it's the good way (B170>B188>B524)

Push the B524 in a dload folder and install it by the native updater (you can use force update too by pressing volume + and - and power, button in the same's time, device's power off, of course)
[P8lite General] Kanzleramt:
u mean the update.zip or the unpacked file ?

im glad to hear that thx u for ur fast reply
[P8lite General] zia1288:
copy update.zip for both b188 & b524. Do not extract them.
[P8lite General] lokopepe:
I think so that the b046 is single SIM

The b052 is dual Sim

[P8lite General] 006fazer:

[P8lite General] dkonect:
But use the b052 can't make your device's one sims.

The ale L21 have exactly the same's hardware with the two sim port native.

The difference is in the firmware .

But the best way is to b052 only for having a good Base for start .

(it's the b052 build you have to use in brick case)

If your device's is branded it's the only way
[P8lite General] Kanzleramt:
with update zip it dont work stuck on bootlop again wtf is thisMM 6.-0 a view posts before i have read that we have to unpack the update.zip folder and then put the entire of it ( cust meta inf patch system uppdate.app) on dload folder sdcard or internal device??

now i understand notta....:crying::crying::crying:

or can ido this with adb fastboot and huawei extractor extracted cust system boot and recovery from the mm 6.0 uppdate app will this work?
[P8lite General] DMScrw:
No, it does not. Maybe on a mint (which means -untouched) ROM, not on a modified one, though. I am not the only one for whom your step did NOT fix the bug, as promised.

So, if anybody can confirm that 006fazer's suggestion (userdata.img) would allow for one to install the .APP in Step 2 of your manual, I would assume that you yourself don't really know what you're talking about and that you merely copied the manual from this russian site that provided the Marshmallow beta file and actually did nothing but modify the flash.bat file

(btw.. the command would be "adb.exe reboot-bootloader" to make it easier for people who have never used ADB before.. I'm only mentioning this since your file doesn't provide it, but rather making things more complicated for others as you force them to do it manually. That would be like gifting a car with three wheels and keeping one, yet expecting people to be able to use it as if it had all 4 (excluding the spare tire.)

So, yes, I do understand.. For the future, you might want to double check your stuff before talking down to others who seemingly understand code better than you.

.APP files are also not full ROM's neccessarily, why would the update.zip files contain additional folders (Patch, System, etc.) if the .APP itself already provides everything?

by checking at "Veneer Informations" (Nr 2 in the project menu.. after entering the *#*#2846579#*#*) and in the submenu 1 (Version info) you would recognize additional changes after using a zip file in contrary to the suggested .APP file being the "full deal". Try it and you will see! XD

That said, thank you for collecting the links (huaweifirmware.c**/http://xdaforums.com/p8lite/general/huawei-p8-lite-android-6-0-marshmallow-t3305550) and making a .bat file that is actually worse than the one the code was created/pasted from originally.

(include the command "adb.exe reboot-bootloader" in "your" bat and you could make everyone's life, or at least people who are dependent on the bat file, easier).

Understand what you steal (supersu flash bat file) and then claim as your own before you accuse people of not understanding the matter..

this is only double sim
[P8lite General] dkonect:
Nope it's works on the two.

There's only one models, the only difference between is the firmware pushed inside your device's when you buy it. It's exactly the same's hardware

My 2 p8lite was single sim branded and I use it with two sim without any trouble. (On 5.0/5.0.1/5.1.1/6.0)

The only things is how to insert the second sim. And you can also use the ext sd slot or the second sim.

All the ale L21 was double sim only active or not by software only

But it's the beta build marshmallow B524 like Everybody.

And also the two beta build (b524 and b525)didn't have the 4g switch in quick toogles
[P8lite General] dkonect:
Personally I don't care attention about the second imei, the two sims works perfectly, of course if your device's was saled single sim you have only one imei but you can use the two sim both. And you can repush the single sim firmware so easily.

The only difference in the process is to downgrade to a other's build than the b052 , because b052 is two sim.

I have successfully reinstall the single firmware but I really appreciate the second sim possibility because I have two sims card , and for working my p8 is more easy to keep with me than my note 4, and with my two numbers (personal and professional ).

For people who's want keep single other's threads was on xda for single sim variant but not real because of the downgrade to the two sim firmware.

For single sim variant you have to downgrade to the B049 Build first.

---------- Post added at 01:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 AM ----------

I updated from c185b130 to c432b524, I had to:

-First downgrade to B052

-Then B170

-Then B188

-Then B524
[P8lite General] dkonect:
Read the op, I have updated it.

-For B525(simple sim) flash need's B049+vendor<B171<B525.

(b171 kernel Fri 9 October)

-For B524 (double sim) flash need's B052+vendor<B170<B188<B524

All is in op, I use the two both and for me the B525 is really better. The two was for European countries.

The downgrade builds needs to be flash by fastboot and flash the vendor folders who's in the zip of the firmware (B049&B052) and normally install the folder vendor like normal update.

In the B052 a automatic script flash the files need directly in one click, for the B049 you have to extract the files with the huwaei firmware extractor and flash by fastboot and after the vendor too with the native updater for didn't see the balong bug.

Please don't quotes the op and the entire mess, it's not need and not useful because it's making hard to see what is the questions and wath is the answer's.

Just push the B524 in a "dload" folder's on your internal or external sd and use the native Updater by use as local update.

(Sometimes it's possible don't works but you can force the flash by switch off your device's and push in the same's time volume + and volume - and power.)

But normally the native Updater make the job also if you push the good file's.

Off course B188 = B524

It's why you can't install B525.

If you want upgrade to B525 you have to follow the Tuto in op.

do i need to flash b171 then factory reset and wipe cache after updating to marshmallow or flash b171 then update to android M then do a factory reset and wipe cache?? which is i should do to make the android M run without bootloop?? this whole day i was trying to install the marshmallow.

Push directly the B525 zip (update.zip) in your dload folder's don't open it ,don't extract the update app, it's why it's doesn't work

yay thanks working on it,, im trying to remove the update.app on my dload folder,,then will try to force update using the zip file..omg i forgot that i can also do force update using three buttons lol..
[P8lite General] dkonect:
It's why I push only the build,update, on my external sd, like this also in bootloop you can remove it and copy the file's need directly by the pc

Personally I have test all the version 5.0/5.1.1/6.0, but it's just what I make on my device's, but I flash twrp (if I don't have it before) before starting the downgrade/update process to factory reset manually,wipe cache and dalvik cache and format ALL partitions with twrp for start on a clean Base.

The flash of the first build push the stock recovery and like this I never haved seen any trouble.

I have two p8 lite and I have updated many from friends and family without any trouble by this way.

The only times I have trouble, it's my mistake, too many builds for the same's device's in the same's folder's......
[P8lite General] miko30:
Hey dude the problem now is i put the update.zip file (b525) on dload folder on my sd card then problem is when i press volume+/- then power it begin scanning for update but it didnt detect the update.zip file it only searching for update.app, that's why it giving me error and cant push update the zip file..

edit: found the solution, put the update.zip then go to updater then local update, it sees as incremental package,, software installing right now.. 3 buttons dont work for me..

EDIT: I correctly installed the android 6.0 but when i tried to factory reset my phone then after that the phone will boot, but so many apps has been deleted, like the widgets, it will only show's the stuck apps with ugly ui..
